(dedicato: Bill Houston)


1) Zoom Room

Everyone is MOVING to da ZOOM ROOM; got space? Get ya ASS to the Zoom Room! OUTTA space? NO swimming pool, no private "king" Lear jet? No Lifestyle (above & beyond) U can NEVER get! (So don't worry) Every SCMUCK is off zooming to the ZOOM room; it's a place U CANT buy and/or  - on a foggy night - rarely find? And I have it on good authority, the ZOOM ROOM (free to rent or let?) is that PLACE in your Mind, that place where U can UN-wind where U and I - rumour has it? -  have never met?

2)  The Valley

I went DOWN to Jesus, DOWN to Moses too; I went down to da VALLEY and there...was U? And I saw your eyes-wide, as in TERROR, down to  the Valley; no place to hide?...DOWN in the Valley wishing I was (Biblical) LOTT; down in the "VAL" with Malibu dreams; no chance of a Taxi to elevate Me? YO! I went down to the Valley, a 1-way conversation, in the Valley, no sense, no logic conclusion? I went down to the Valley on a Saturday night and I didn't come up till a Sunday's Roast  carving knife?

3)  Nighthawks

Nighthawks in da morning lookin' like old Crows with a head full of "nuttin'",  almost thinking; just where does the time GO, or more eloquently (apres Francois Villion) just WHERE are the snows of yesteryear? And Nighthawks (dem scrawny devils/god knows where they get their hair done?) in a KISS like something MISSED on some, maybe one or 2 fourth of July's? -Breaking the break of dawn like a Virgins first Saturday night: ya gotta WEAR "Roy Orbison", sing da Blues, or lament some Golden Days, step into a fade, not SCREAM, but maybe Shout like Nighthawks in da morning fixing on heading South?

4)  BLU Skies

BLU skies; WE got "nuttin'" but Blu Skies, DUCKS kissin' Blu Skies from here and now on? Blu skies, got the Hope diamond! Blu skies; nobodies pregnant, just Blue whatsit; so let's sing a song!


6)  Doc. Boone (another one-sided conversation)

LOVE don't work (for me), neither does the BANK (for me) And Rock Hudson never dies in a movie, HIV? Babe? I, the right honourable DOC. BOONE, licensed to Practise Medicine (fully Licensed), I gotta go hang mah "shingle" in some OTHER town where Uncle Sam ain't tryin' to convince me the Natives (Arapahoes, Apaches, Lakotas, Blackfeet, Cherokees, CO-manchees) wanna Scalp me? FEAR, apparently, is the order of the Times?  Nuttin WRONG with Chinese Food/I drink Singapore Slings mo5rning, noon and night, for chrissakes! ?Uncle Samuel? Hiding in the woods, in da Pines, in the Pines where the sun never shines? A curmudgeon. A bleak sentiment in a bleak moment and, possibly, in the bleak mid winter of our UN-arrived at Discontent? -like LOVE on the Job or the JOB of Love? Or Doc. Boone in the movie "Stagecoach" starring Duke Wayne: "OK. I'll STOP!....But just for one....?"

7)  Whisky Lullaby

There's Whisky in mah water tonight (good night Irene/I'll see U in mah dreams), it's bin a long, long time? So shoot me down or lock me down if I've gone out of Style? Like Whisky in mah water.....(READER is s'posed to finish this Cowboy Lullaby).....Tra-la-lah!!!!
